HOSTED BY AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY

WHY?....
This is a 24% tax hike every home phone, business phone and cell phone in the Commonwealth.
This E-911 tax was established to fund the equipment and dedicated staff of the public safety answering points (PSAPs) where 911 calls are received. But the proposed tax increase is being used for something completely unrelated.
The tax is deceiving to consumers. They are led to believe they are funding 911-related services when they would really be funding an array of benefits for a wide variety of state and local government employees.
This is simply a shell game to take more money from Virginians for unrelated programs.
This bad idea has been rejected before. Nearly identical legislation to increase tax on insurance premiums and alarm monitoring services has been soundly defeated three years in a row.
This tax increase should be rejected by the budget conferees.
It’s critical that we get as many Virginians as possible to send a clear message to the general assembly not to impose huge new hidden taxes and fees, including the phone tax.
